I'm Not/But I am
I am not flawless because I have no flaws
But because my flaws deserve an applause
My nose isn’t the right size
The bump in the ridge is a little repulsing
But the shape of it enhances my eyes
It forms a face completely alluring
My ears remind me of a children’s cartoon
The point on top makes me irritable
But they’re symmetrical like 2 halves of a moon
Situated on my profile looking equally adorable
My lips are too thin
I’ve never been able to cutely pout
But the bow shape can drive a man to sin
The allure has thoroughly been drawn out
My cheeks are too full
I wish they could be more hollow
But they hold an innocent pull
They enhance the dimples that follow
A young man throws me a compliment
He thinks I should be grateful
I don’t need to listen I’m more than content
His side compliments aren’t fateful
I reply with “I Know”
He looks utterly appalled
I can’t stand the look on his face and I go
I knew my worth before he called
I need no one’s approval
I know I am beautiful
